I work for a CD manufacturer, taking in countless customer-supplied projects
done on whatever their brother's-neighbor's-cousin-who-is-a-graphic-artist
happens to have on their machine (we have very detailed art specs supplied,
yet they're rarely ever followed) -- on a daily basis I am asked to defend
my department as to why our proofs (and/or final printed pieces) don't match
the "proofs" the customer ran on their $40 inkjet printer. "Pleasing" prints
are the the bane of my existence.
